I have been considering a new System recently and came across the iBuyPower Revolt, I love the small form factor as this will be for gaming, nothing to intensive, WoW, EQ Landmark/Next, and a Multi-Media machine. I am trying to get the best bang for the Buck in a small form factor which the Revolt offers... I normally build my own PC But the revolt is priced really well for what it offers.

Ok here is my build, Total price: $1514
Site used: http://aafes.ibuypower.com/Store/Configurators.aspx?mid=1514
Zephyr Revolt R590
1 x Case ( iBUYPOWER Revolt Mini Tower Gaming Case - 5635 )
1 x Case Lighting ( Revolt Advanced Lighting - 5636 )
1 x Processor ( Intel® Core™ i7-4770K Processor (4x 3.50GHz/8MB L3 Cache) - Intel® Core™ i7-4770K - 5861 )
1 x Processor Cooling ( NZXT Kraken X40 Liquid CPU Cooling System w/ 140mm Radiator (Revolt) - 5779 )
1 x Memory ( 8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1866 ADATA XPG V2 - 6476 )
1 x Video Card ( NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 - 2GB - Single Card - 5958 )
1 x Motherboard ( MSI Z87I Mini-ITX -- Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth - 6295 )
1 x Power Supply ( 500 Watt - FSP 1U 80 Plus Gold Certificated Power Supply - 5641 )
1 x Primary Hard Drive ( 256GB ADATA SX900 SSD - 6657 )
1 x Data Hard Drive ( 1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive - 5563 )
1 x Optical Drive ( 6x BLU-RAY Reader + DVD±R/±RW Slot Load Combo Drive - 5747 )
1 x Operating System ( Windows 8.1 + Office 365 Trial 64-bit - 6379 )
1 x Media Center Remote Control ( MS Media Center Remote Control and Receiver - 1143 )
1 x Warranty ( 3 Year Standard Warranty Service - 317 )

This machine will not be using wireless, and I am worried that the i7 is overkill, but for only $100 it seems like a good future proof investment as I don't plan on replacing the machine for quite some time... Any assistance or advice, I am more than willing to build a machine myself as long as its a small form factor and the price is right...

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

to be honest its up to you, you can have a look and add the same parts or similar to pcpartpicker.com,see if you can build it for cheaper

But you will get a warranty and support from ibuypower

As for the components, they are great and would be able to handle any game at the moment at a high level

if your planning on gaming the i5 will be fine, video editing the i7. i5's are basically i7's with hyper threading turned off, but this feature does not affect games
